Which country’s Angelica Moser won the women’s pole vault at Birmingham 2026?

The story behind the answer

Switzerland’s Angelica Moser won the women’s pole vault at Birmingham 2026.

Moser cleared 4.80 metres to take the title. Finland’s Wilma Heltelä finished second at 4.75 metres, and France’s Marie-Julie Bonnin took bronze at 4.70 metres. Moser’s mark was also listed as a season’s best.

Pole vault results are determined by the highest height successfully cleared, with failures at each height used as a tie-break factor when necessary. Competitors use a flexible pole to convert their approach speed into vertical height before crossing the bar.

The answer is Switzerland rather than Moser’s name because the question asks for her country. This also distinguishes the result from the women’s high jump, where Ukraine’s Yaroslava Mahuchikh won, and from the men’s pole vault, won by Sweden’s Armand Duplantis.
